QinetiQProject / Bid Manager
Jul. 2004 - Jun. 2011Farnborough, U.K.I managed the full life cycle of advanced materials programs, including design, manufacturing, non-destructive evaluation, and testing of composites and new metal alloys. I led international supply chains, drove cost reductions through innovation, optimized tooling development, and managed risks across multiple concurrent projects. I oversaw the bid and execution phases of manufacturing programs, industrializing advanced processes, developing sustainable manufacturing methods, and optimizing designs for production efficiency. For government-funded R&D projects, I maximized commercial opportunities, led industry consortia, identified strategic partners, and advanced technologies in non-destructive evaluation and structural health monitoring. I also established a dedicated humanitarian response team, aligning company resources to address humanitarian needs, fostering client relationships, and organizing impactful demonstration events for stakeholders.
